[Mike]

Pan,

 

Thank you, that makes sense. I’ll investigate further.

Hello Mike,

 

It is possible for Polycom phones to auto-answer an incoming call with speakerphone. I don’t have the details available right now, but it requires changing the phone’s configuration and sending a custom sip header with the INVITE. Great care should be taken when implementing this, as it could allow anyone to listen in or spy on your customer and/or their employees without their knowledge. No need to physically put bugs in the office anymore. The phones will already be there and they’ll be configured to allow monitoring of the room.

 

Autoanswer after one ring of a “beep” (or similar) ringtone may be a better solution for you and the customer.

 

Hope this helps.

 

With kind regards,

Pan

Hi,

 

Is there a reliable way to auto-dial SIP phones (specifically Polycom) with some sort of TAPI driver in Windows?  I am aware of SIPTAPI, which makes the user’s phone ring, and when picked up dials the desired number, but I (and more to the point, many of my customers) find this annoying.  I’d like the phone to autodial on speakerphone (or headset if there is one), without any human intervention.

 

This doesn’t have to be a free solution.  If anyone knows one, I’d appreciate.

 

Regards,

 

Mike
